Squirrel Removal in Markham

Markham has two pest realities separated by about 30 years of construction. Walk down Main Street Unionville and the heritage homes there have fieldstone foundations with gaps that mice have been using since before the town had a traffic light. Drive 15 minutes north to Cornell or Box Grove and the brand-new detached homes are already getting mice through settling gaps around gas lines and dryer vents — the foundation shifts in the first two winters and opens up entry points the builder never sealed. The Rouge River cuts through eastern Markham and delivers raccoons, skunks, and squirrels right into the backyards along Rouge River Estates. Milliken is rat territory — the dense mix of restaurants and food businesses along Steeles and McCowan feeds Norway rat populations that burrow under adjacent residential foundations. Angus Glen looks pristine, but the golf course is raccoon habitat and they do not stay on the fairways.
